Monthly Fee for StarCraft II Battle.net in Russia

This is related to StarCraft II rather than Diablo III, but still interesting.

Russian players who buy StarCraft II will only get a certain numbers of days to play free multiplayer (and only with Russians), then a monthly fee scheme starts.

The idea is that the game can be sold a lot cheaper there, and give less features, but that an upgrade (total price of game + upgrade is slightly more than an European version of the game) will allow unlimited gameplay as well as playing with the rest of Europe.
